Statute vs. Regulations
The only way to change a Statute is for a bill to pass in the legislature or for a ballot measure to pass. The bill could either address the issue through the bill language or have language that gives MassWildlife the authority to make regulations. To learn more about any current hunting-related legislation you can contact your local representative or senator.
The Fisheries and Wildlife Board has the authority to change hunting Regulations, which are referred to as CMRs (Code of Massachusetts Regulations) but cannot approve regulations which contradict Statutes.
